Appraisal services for home sellers - M. Mitchell and Associates

Putting a house on the market in or near Barnstable County? Contact M. Mitchell and Associates and make sure you're setting the price right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless the homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on their local real estate market.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Going to sell your home yourself?

Quite a few MA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and for the best price, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is objective opinions, and we understand that it can be very hard to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Alert you of issues and get rid of any last-minute repair hassles that might stall a closing
Help lower the possibility of unknown problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people when they find out that the value of their home is much more than they thought. So by taking the first step and spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an exaggerated assessment of their home's value, and an appraisal gave then the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it instead of gathering dust on the market for months. Selling too high will not attract buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, which can waste your valuable time and drain your resources while getting nothing done

Get a professional value opinion before listing

You might have a highly skillful agent but it's definitely a good idea to get of your home's value to signing a listing agreement. M. Mitchell and Associates can help. We can furnish you with a pre-listing appraisal so both you and your agent have an accurate description of your home's characteristics and a detailed breakdown of the newest and similar comparable sales or as they're commonly called, "comps".
